When Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Meets Artificial Intelligence, This HD Remaster is the Result

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9) originally aired from January 3, 1993, to June 2, 1999, and served as the third sequel to Star Trek: The Original Series. It was set in the 24th century, when Earth is part of a United Federation of Planets, and based on the space station Deep Space Nine, which is located adjacent to a wormhole connecting Federation territory to the Gamma Quadrant on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy. One fan, CaptRobau, decided to remaster some clips from the series using AI Gigapixel’s neural networks to upscale them to 1080p. Read more to see the result and for additional information.

“The technology is optimized for (and trained on) photos, but apparently works a treat for video. While you wouldn’t mistake it for an official remaster, it provides a considerably cleaner, sharper look than the 480p original without introducing visual artifacts,” according to Engadget.
